Buyers from across NSW and south to Tas bought in bulk at the Greendale Merino and Poll Merino ram sale at Cooma, on Thursday, October 16.
Speaking to attendees, stud co-principal Alan McGufficke shared why the numbers can be just as crucial as the physical item itself, all the more so when challenging conditions demand more of the animal.
"We try and use as much as the relevant science and technology as we can that are relevant to our business. That, in turn, makes the animals you buy and the information you see more predictable, as we know that breeding anything is a long term program," he said.
"With this information, we have more control in the things we can control."
